I am not going to fight hard to prove a point as the code is in good
working conditions, but wanted to finish the discussion ..

You were talking about driver registration done in parallel with
hotplug. But I was pointing at something else.

Suppose a system that has:
- 8 CPUs, 0-3 and 4-7 share policy
- 4-7 physically hotplugged out
- cpufreq driver registered and so policy0 active for cpu 0-3.
- We hotplug 4-7.

So, this is a bit different compared to the case where Russell mentioned
the Racy thing. Not sure if this case also has similary racy situations
though.

Right.

Right, but at least the cpufreq-core is already requested on behalf of
such CPUs. We aren't creating links based on the assumption that a
add_dev() will be called for these devices.

offline CPUs as well..

Choose whatever you feel is right. I have already written below code, so
just pasting it here. Its not to say, that this code looks better :P
